    Kenny Wallace

    Did any of you guys watch Kenny's facebook live session a couple days ago ?
    Very entertaining and he talked quite a bit about the cost of SLM racing.

    I started listening and knew it would be good but wasn't in a place I could listen to the whole thing. I will have to go back and listen to it later now...

      It is definitely NSFW.

          Brian Shirley was on there sayin 60k for a engine, and easily over 100k for turn key lm, I dont know what reason hed have to fudge the numbers. And Kenny said 27k for a Mullins amod engine. In 2006 we were winning features in a 7500 dollar Pierce roller with 6 nights on it, a 5000 dollar locally built 406. So needless to say guys are spending more on an engine than most guys had in there whole car less than ten years ago...

            I think Kenny needs to grow some thicker skin. Can you imagine if Bloomer worried what people thought of his racing program. Every ex-Nascar driver who gets involved with dirt (Smoke, Schrader, Stremme, etc) are looked at differently.

              I watched it three hours late. I like Kenny but sometimes he's kinda over the top.

              I get it when he said you can't win with a slow car, and he has the means to have good equipment, but he kinda degraded the Saturday night guys when he kinda inferred having a $20,000 car was pointless... at least thats how I saw it.

              He'd get more respect if he dumped the Toyota deal... but I see why he stays with them. Don't kill the goose who lays the Golden egg...

              All I have to give him for advice is to put bigger seats in his Driving Experience cars and find someone who wrenches them with more than a Crescsent wrench...

                Good point or idea...its time for Bloomer to set down in front of a camera like Kenny did and tell us how it is...

                  Check YouTube



                  There's also the interview Dave Despain did with him.

                    Kenny Wallace knows NASCAR is fading and sees dirt as his next $$$ train!!!!! He ain’t stupid, just thinks everyone watching is. lol. I like him, but his “telling it” like it is, might be as much business as it is love of dirt! We will see how many local 600$ shows he runs????

                      The Dave Despain interview is pretty good. But Dave is always good, miss his Speed show.
                      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                        He said a couple times during the stream that he doesn't care what people think but it seemed to me the whole thing was done to address things people think and say.
                        And his announcement a couple weeks ago about going dirt racing full time made no sense and when he clarified it on this FB live we found out what it really means is his dirt racing is taking priority over television. The original announcement was vague and led to people asking questions. He acted like he explained it perfectly the first time. He didn't.
                        Kenny rules and I'm glad he's heavily into dirt racing, but his communication skills often stink.

                          So Kenny says he doesn’t race late models because they are too expensive and you key board cowboys who have never bought a single race car part say he’s wrong ??? The people on here who constantly argue expense isn’t a problem in racing are the ones who never paid a bill... ask the people who actually pay bills ... if we need opinions on chugging hammers we’ll ask you guys

                            What's a chugging hammer? By the way, I have never seen anyone say expense isn't a problem.

                              I think he means blowing the meat flute?
